There was problem today when I started my computer (error message 'CMOS - checksum error'). It seems that there is a problem with the BIOS battery and obviously, some settings have been reset (like the clock, e.g.).

Now, Trados 2007 runs in demo mode. I have entered the correct activation key several times (and received a message that the registration was successful), restarted the computer and reran the registration (Start > All Programs ....). FLEXnet Licensing Service is actived,too. But the Workbench and TagEditor still open in demo mode.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem without a reinstallation?

Many thanks in advance,Susanne

Did you set the BIOS time to the current time and date?

This might be a long shot, but some software programs that are also available as a trial version check if if someone has reset the system clock to extend the trial period and if they find signs of tampering, they'll switch to demo mode.

Did you:a) replace the BIOS battery? b) set both the BIOS clock and the Windows clock to current time and date?

Many thanks, sounds great! I should have waited a bit but as I am in a hurry, I have already deinstalled Trados and now I have the next problem. The reinstallation does not work because Trados requires .NET Framework 2.0.

Now, there are higher versions on my computer and from I have learned in older threads, it seems impossible to deinstall the .NET Framework versions.

I wonder if I have to reinstall Windows ...

PS: I've tried to restore the system but I get a message that a restoration isn't possible because no changes can be found. Well, surprise, surprise
